3 This was on 19 October 1916 (Autobiography, 54, n. 1) when the infant Crown Prince was three months old and Mr. Thesiger six years and four months. The Crown Prince, while obviously not himself remembering these events, tells me that he is well aware of the story of his brief sojourn as a guest in the British Legation compound.
